If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Another shot from my Mirror’s Edge-inspired scene.
I’ve updated the lighting and post-process to bring back a cooler blue tone while still maintaining the impression of bright sunlight.

So refreshing and lovely to see real art being commissioned with so much AI art being the norm in these sort of situations these days

Can anyone recommend tutorials or likewise for Substance Designer?
I'm getting back into it but it's safe to say it's been a hot minute and probably best to start from the beginning...

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: β€œ3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

Finally got around to Clair Obscur after all this time.
Loving the gameplay.
Sobbing and slightly confused by the story.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Loch Loyne and the hills of Glen Quoich. Not a whisper of wind over the waters and some low cloud drifting over the peaks, thought it rude not to pull over here on my way back from a couple of nights on Skye #Scotland #LochLoyne #GlenQuoich www.damianshields.com

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry:

Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production.

Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

As promised: Faces! 😁 Here's a thread about some technical details for how stylized faces get made in Spirit Crossing. 🧡

The game is inspired by media like Ghibli and BotW, but our faces are unique. There was lots of early discussion about face style & we landed on dot-eyes early...

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

Junkster on Steam Junkster is a 3D action platformer with an awesome building mechanic. Plucky, little construction bot, UM-13 has crash-landed on a dangerous junkyard planet. Armed only with his trusty robo-wrench, Um...

In other (very cool) news... Junkster has a demo on Steam!!
Really glad this game is still on it's way to some sort of release, it was an absolute blast to work on.
